It is all smiles at Liverpool at the moment, even considering the weather.

The Reds have won their last three matches and enter the weekend putting real pressure on Manchester United in the fight to be considered as the second-best team after Manchester City this season.

Last weekend's 4-1 victory over West Ham at Anfield took Jurgen Klopp's men to 103 goals in all competitions this season, with the deadly front trio of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane chipping in with 66 of them.

Next up comes a home clash with ex-Reds boss Rafael Benitez's Newcastle at Anfield on Saturday evening.

And here's what we spotted at Melwood on a cold Thursday afternoon.

1. Not even the cold can dampen Mohamed Salah's spirits

Throw whatever you want at Mo Salah - icy temperatures, a packed defence, the collective belief of most people that he's got to stop scoring at some point, right? - and he'll just smile his way through it.

Liverpool's Egyptian King has now scored 31 goals this season, and found the net in each of his last six games for the Reds.

Nothing can seem to stop him, and that's Newcastle and Benitez's problem come the weekend.

2. Nathaniel Clyne steps it up

It would be a shock to see him start against Newcastle, but Nathaniel Clyne's recovery continued apace with his involvement in the session, coming hot on the heels of him getting 90 minutes in the Under 23s at the weekend.

The Reds coaching staff were reportedly delighted with his fitness levels in that game, and he could be set for an appearance in next week's Champions League clash at home to Porto, with the hosts 5-0 up from the first leg.
